Turmeric is native to Asia. The turmeric plant grows to a height of about 3 feet and has yellow flowers. The root is bright-orange with a thin brownish skin. The rhizomes provide the spice. Turmeric belongs to the same family as ginger and is also known as Indian saffron.
The plant was called Indian saffron during the Middle Ages because of its orange-yellow color. The dye is used to color cosmetics, foods, confectionery, fabrics and paper. Turmeric oil can stain light colored clothing so be sure to dilute it well.
Turmeric oil offers a number of health benefits including anti-inflammatory properties that can aid in reducing joint pain and supporting your body's overall wellness due to having a high level of antioxidants. Turmeric offers a warm and calming support for reducing pain and aiding in reducing inflammation. Turmeric essential oil has also been known to improve digestive health, support a healthy immune system and even lower LDL cholesterol levels. Add turmeric oil as an ingredient to a DIY face mask or experience its anti-inflammatory effects with topical application. This essential oil has more health benefits than most people would think, so why not give it a try.
